russ c Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Hi Everyone, Whilst I`m between builds and to test the new Photobucket I thought I`d show you my Thunderchief collection, so far: firstly a family shot, then Monogram F-105D, built with kit decals (which were a swine to do as very old) mostly OOD except for the rocket pods and bombs which were from a Hasegawa weapons set just to make it a little different then Revell EF-105F, `Wild Weasel` Done with one of the options that come on the decal sheet, but again with reworked armament to portray a a load more suitable for an `F` and lastly Revell F-105G, `Wild Weasel` this time with kit armament selection but aftermarket decals and fitted the crew as couldn,t be bothered to make seat belts Hope you enjoy looking at probably my favourite `Jet` kit.. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 VERY nice indeed ! you can't beat the good old " Century Series " jets, and your collection is superb. How about a " Silver " F-105 from the 36th. or 49th. TFW ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers `Starfighter`, I`ve actually got the decals for a silver example and a `D` to refurb as you suggest, (though will probably find another kit to build) going to do it with Bullpups to add more variety still! thanks for looking Edited February 11, 2013 by russ c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Very nice collection! did you do them (at least paint) them at the same time? I have always trouble hitting exactly the same shade twice! looks worth building and not necessarily overtaken by the much newer Hobbyboss version!

AndrewE Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Great builds. One of my all time favoirite aircraft but I have only ever built a 1/72nd scale G and only have a Monogram 1/48th F in the stash. I must rectify this soon!

Thanks Exdraken, No, there`s about two years between them. Regarding paint shades: I don`t worry too much about them, as once an airframes been subjected to different amounts of sun and weather they can change drastically in some cases. thanks for looking 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
